Ive been playing the game for the past few hours. It was released in stores here in NZ this morning and although I had pre ordered on GOG, I coudnt wait any longer :)
Just thought id share my experience with the game though, as some users may run into the same issues I had to start off with.
Just a quick rundown on my config:
Core i7 920 @ 4Ghz
Nvidia Geforce 570
6GB RAM
On first startup of the game under video and language options, I clicked 'Auto detect best settings' which set me to 'High' at 1680x1050'. From the first scene in the game the framerate was so bad it made the game unplayable. I then tried scaling each option back in the advanced video settings, including setting the resolution to the lowest option. Nothing seemed to make a difference...
Turned out it was caused by my video card drivers. Doing a clean install of the official 266.58 Nvidia drivers made a world of difference.
I had read on another post to not install the 3D Vision drivers, I have yet to test if this makes a difference.
I hope this helps those of you that may run in to the same problem :-)
